PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
 

DISTRIBUTION CHECKS ARE IN THE MAIL

Distributions to creditors (including rebate claimants) are being mailed beginning April 22, 2005. Creditors will receive $.08802 per dollar of allowed claims, which means, that for each one hundred dollars of allowed claims, you will receive $8.80.

Please note that as set forth in the Plan, no payment will be made to any creditor if such payment would be less than $5.00. Therefore, claimants with allowed claims of less than $56.81 will not receive distributions.

Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, only creditors who filed claims electronically have an allowed claim. Unless you have received notice to the contrary, your allowed claim is equal to the amount you filed.

Please negotiate your check promptly. As set forth on the check, the checks are valid for only 90 days after issuance (i.e., until July 21, 2005). After that, they are null and void and should not be deposited as they will bounce.

If you do not receive your distribution check by May 22, 2005, you may request a replacement check by notifying the Garden City Group, the disbursing agent, no later than July 22, 2005 by sending an email to cybclaimdocs@gardencitygroup.com. Please note that emails received prior to May 22, 2005 will not be acted upon. Do not send emails to claims@cyberrebate.com as that email address is no longer being monitored.

In order to receive a replacement check, your email must provide your name, claim number, the last four digits of your SSN/TIN number (required for identification purposes) and current mailing address. Replacement checks will not be mailed before August 5, 2005. If your current mailing address is different from the address on file, you will be charged $2.37 (deducted from the distribution) to defray the cost of preparing and mailing the replacement check.

As set forth above, the distribution checks are valid until July 21, 2005. Therefore, even if you have requested a replacement check, you may still deposit the original check up to July 21, 2005.

This will be your only distribution check unless some creditors do not cash their checks by July 21, 2005, in which case a second distribution may be made.

Please note that this web site will cease to exist on October 21, 2005.

For a certain period following the bankruptcy, CyberRebate had posted customer account information, including purchase history and rebate information, at its Web site. That service is no longer available.

8) How was the lawsuit between CyberRebate and Paymentech resolved?

Pursuant to a Stipulation and Agreed Order Settling Adversary Proceeding (the "Stipulation") approved by the Bankruptcy Court on November 14, 2001, CyberRebate, Paymentech Merchant Services, LLC ("Paymentech"), which was one of CyberRebate's former credit card processors, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors agreed as follows:

  1. the litigation between CyberRebate and Paymentech was dismissed with prejudice;
  2. Paymentech: (i) received $4,150,000 from CyberRebate and (ii) applied the $4,571,098 remaining in the reserve account maintained by Paymentech (collectively the "Settlement Amount") in payment of its claim against CyberRebate for chargebacks to credit card customers;
  3. if the Paymentech claim, as ultimately allowed after all chargebacks are finalized (the "Allowed Claim") is less than the Settlement Amount, then Paymentech will refund the difference to CyberRebate's estate;
  4. if the Allowed Claim is greater than Settlement Amount, Paymentech will not share in any distribution until the other unsecured general creditors receive a distribution of 10% of their allowed claims; and
  5. to an exchange of releases including the termination by Paymentech of all liens against CyberRebate's assets.

Please note that Paymentech has filed a Proof of Claim in excess of the Settlement Amount.
